Likes/Dislikes of Research Paper

It has been a long time since I have written a research paper. I only remember writing one in high school and I don't recall what it was about. I enjoyed my topic of Gun Control because it is something that I have a strong opinion about. It was fun to read all the different articles and opinions and statistics about the topic. I didn't really enjoy the structure that we had to write the paper in. I don't like to have to follow directions on how to technically set up my paper with headers and cover pages. I also really hate making bibliographies, I am not confident about the set up of mine, but i gave it my best shot. Overall, writing this paper was a learning experience.
